The Pousada de Condeixa-a-Nova, Santa Cristina, is found in the palace that once belonged to the noble family of Almadas, built sometime in the sixteenth century.
The Pousada owes its name to Saint Cristina, a young pilgrim martyr who after being baptized refused to offer sacrifices to the god Apollo.
This stunning hotel in Condeixa is found within 2 km from Portugal’s main motorway (A1: Lisbon - Porto), near the historical university city of Coimbra and from Conimbriga, one of the most important and best conserved Roman ruins in Europe.
Its decor and the tranquillity of the gardens hold good reasons to visit and revisit this charming hotel. Besides the large grassy garden landscape, it offers an outdoor pool - an ideal place to spend a few days at one with nature.
From the railings or balconies you can appreciate the splendid view of the lush garden - a moment of contemplation, tranquillity and peace.
The rooms have Victorian style curtains and bed covers and wooden sculptured bedside tables. Finesse prevails in the quarters of the Pousada de Condeixa-a-Nova, Santa Cristina.
The famous restaurant with its palatial environment offers classical Portuguese recipes with a modern touch, where you can savour the octopus rice "Malandrinho" (rascal) or the delicious baby goat of "Lousã", accompanied by fantastic wines of the region.
The Pousada defers free parking.
